CIA Contractor in Pakistan Apparently Saved by Sharia

The United States has purchased the freedom of Raymond Davis, the CIA contractor who has been imprisoned in Pakistan since he shot and killed two men there in January in what he claims was an act of self-defense. The numbers differ  the AP says $2.34 million was paid to the victims’ families, while ABC News has it at $1.4 million  but what’s interesting is why, exactly, this workedout.

“The court first indicted him but the families later told court that they have accepted the blood money and they have pardoned him,” Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah told Reuters. “The court acquitted him in the murdercase.”
